Walker PAC opens Iowa office

Governor Scott Walker has become the first potential presidential candidate to set up an Iowa office. While he’s not an official candidate yet, the suburban strip mall office space rented by Walker’s “Our American Revival” Political Action Committee has housed other presidential campaigns in recent years, including those of Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann in 2012, and John McCain in 2008.

The Des Moines Register reported the story, and said the PAC is also in the process of opening offices in other Iowa locations.

Walker debuted his presidential aspirations in a January 24th address to the Iowa Freedom Summit, and a poll conducted by the Register and Bloomberg Politics pegs the Wisconsin governor as the favorite among Republicans likely to participate in Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, tentatively scheduled for early in February of 2016.
